EN: Japanese
Not the time of day, but the people and culture that gave us anime, ramen, and Uniqlo. When you say someone is 'Hapon', you mean they're Japanese. Note the different stress: HA-pon is afternoon, ha-PON is Japanese. Getting it wrong might just change your dinner plans.
From Spanish 'Japón'.
The stress is on the second syllable (/ha-PON/) to differentiate it from 'afternoon' (/HA-pon/). It can be a noun (a Japanese person) or an adjective (Japanese food).
